GERS court, began this afternoon. Camp
bell, Trip, Mellette & McOallum for
the defendants, Yolliath, Burtt and Mel
Vile for the prosecution. An order for
their arrest and to appear and answer
was made in chambers. The defendants
at once attacked its regularity, claiming
that In o criminal case such order could
not issue from the court in chambers.
The prosecution tamely defended
the regularity OF the order, but
the defence held their ground and fortiti-
ed with numerous citations. Finally
Spencer sustained their position to ses
aside this order, and instantly issued
another order, returnably withoutde delay.
This occupied the time till supper. At
$3.50 the case is again on, with the pros.
poet OF running all aight and longer.
The court room is crowded tonight with
many persons and ladies to hear the case.
Spencer evidently thinks 1t don't look
